Is the a forum for the Motorola Cliq 2? I didn't see the it listed on the phone types area? Is there another name it's known by?

I just got this phone myself, and I'm hoping to see a section for it.
Are you having any issues with wifi calling. For some reason it will not stay connected for me. It will connect for a little bit then just randomly disconnects. My G2's wifi calling works perfectly so I'm wondering if it just doesn't work well on the Cliq 2 or if one of the built in connection manager apps is interfering with it. Anyone who had this issue please post and fixes you found. Thanks

I haven't used the Wifi calling just yet, but I had a similar problem with Navigator. Was in NYC, and was using it to get me around, and it just stopped working. It was losing the data connection, and it would just stop cold turkey. Sounds similar to your problem with Wifi calling. Probably data connection related.
This MotoBlur is bull****. My sister owns a Motorola Flipside, and the software on that blows. Had to do a number of things to get that phone working right. I'm hoping for some CM7 roms on both of these phones. So far, nobody cooked any yet. Makes me miss using my G1 phone, since it had a pretty nice setup with the abundance of custom roms available. Just a SIM card swap away.
Of course, the first thing needed is a section for the Cliq 2.
The c2 is still a redheaded stepchild at this point. There is some work starting now over at m3 but it would be really nice to see something going over here.
There's already a deblurred rom with some goodies included. Someone is working on porting CM6 and maybe eventually CM7.
That is correct over at m3 there are 2 roms and a custom recovery out at this point. Looks like some good things are starting to happen!

what version of z4root did you use for get rooted you cliq 2?
Just use OneClickRoot to root this phone. The latest version works fine. The Gingerbread release has a custom root that you'll need to apply. It's on ModmyMobile.com .
Ok I have tried everything I can think of so I am coming to you guys for help. My razr maxx keeps power cycling. It is not rooted and it is on ICS. It has a red little circle where the signal bars are. I have turned on and off airplane mode. I have done probably 4 hard wipes both manually and by going to through the settings of the phone. I don't know what is wrong with it or what I can do to fix it. I wanted to know if flashing the ICS update on there manually would help fix this? Any help would be very appreciated.
Thanks
If worse comes to worse you can manually install the .214 leak (if on cdma) go to droidrzr.com click forums find development and there's a upgrade guide and I believe u can downgrade to .211 if wanted.

I'm having the same problem, started last night (I started a thread about it last night). I haven't been able to fix it yet.
what up everybody? I figured I'd come here to seek out some help for this huge problem I have...
Over in the Droid razr forums, we have an "MIUI port" and to be honest...its crap. Data drops and only way to fix is with a reflash, no 3g on newer versions of it, lag in the older versions with 3g, auto brightness problems, pretty sure there's some themeing issues also...
Anyways, the dev for the rom claims he's hard at work but the last time he updated the rom was in June. So I was wondering if anyone could share with me some info on how to fix some of these problems. I wanna take this on myself since obviously nobody else is. Biggest problem is getting 3g...3g worked on the older version but you would have to go into the phone info app and toggle the radio then change network type every time u restart the phone... so I want to get atleast 3g on the smooth running version on the rom. I have no clue where to start, that's why I'm here..
So to anyone that can help, me and the Droid razr community thanks you.

Hello all, I am currently looking to get the Motorola Razr Maxx in the next few days from Alltel. However, before I do, there are several questions I would like answered. Any help would be appreciated
Now then, starting off.
1. Is there a root option for the Razr Maxx for Alltel? It supposedly will be running ICS stock, but I want to make sure I don't use some sort of root method that is for a Verizon Maxx and cause issues on my phone. If there is a root option, which is best? I've done recovery flashes and whatnot in the past to root my Alltel 2.3.6 X2, but the simpler the better for me.
2.Bluetooth input, is it fixed? One thing I do a lot of on my Motorola Milestone X2 is emulation. I have a PSX, N64, GBA, GBC, etc etc. However, one HUGE setback with my Moto X2 is that it does not handle bluetooth input properly. My previous phone could handle it in emulation just fine, but there is a problem with the X2, supposedly. The X2 can detect input from bluetooth devices (and it shows the input in said applications used to sync the device), HOWEVER, the input cannot interact with other applications on the X2, making it impossible to play emulators with bluetooth devices. Does the issue persist with the Razr Maxx, or can I finally hook up a Wii remote to my Razr Maxx, mirror it to my TV, and sit back and enjoy the classics?
3. Infrastructure tethering - I do not have an existing ISP because all ISPs I can get are so terrible, wireless dial-up with interference would be more reliable. That being said, I use my phone for all of my internet needs. PC gaming, downloads, posting on forums like this, etc etc. I have no bandwidth caps or throttles, so I am truly unlimited. However, a setback with my Moto X2 is that even though I am rooted for wireless such as Wifi Tether or Barnacle, I can only tether in ad-hoc and not infrastructure. Tablets and other devices cannot connect to ad-hoc and only infrastructure, but supposedly my phone does not support this. Does the Razr Maxx have sufficient hardware to broadcast as a infrastucture hotpost?
4. Locked Bootloader and Custom ROMs? I am aware that my Moto X2 has a locked bootloader, supposedly meaning it is unable to have custom ROMs flashed to it. Is this the case with the Razr Maxx? And if so, are there methods to unlock the bootloader on the Maxx, unlike the X2? And, assuming I can flash, what kind of ROMs could I use and what would be recommended per my general uses of the phone (as listed above)? I have never flashed a custom ROM and know little of it. Would I need one specific to my carrier (Alltel), or does it just need to be the right technology (Alltel is CDMA)?
As an added note, while not phone specific, are there any alarming pitfalls to a custom ROM? Bugged SMS, MMS, etc?

I used this method and it worked just fine. Only catch was I had to install SuperSU from the Play Store afterwards, as the automatic installation failed for some reason. http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1342567

I don't know about this, as I've never used my phones for this purpose.

I never had trouble running the WiFi Hotspot feature on my Milestone X, X2, or now Razr Maxx in infrastructure mode. They all have worked well for this. Last device I had to use Ad-Hoc on was my OG Milestone because the hardware was physically unable to support infrastructure mode.

The beauty of the Maxx is that you can use SafeStrap to setup multi-boot. You can actually load custom roms in addition to your stock rom and choose among them at boot! No more having to cross your fingers and hope the custom rom you are flashing over your system will work.
SafeStrap Info: http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1391900
A big downside for us Alltel users so far is it seems as though all of the custom roms out there are preoccupied with needing a SIM card to do anything. So far this is rendering them useless for phone use for us Alltel users, as we do not use SIM cards in our Razrs. I am actively trying to figure out how to overcome this as time allows. So far, I have figured out copying the build.prop from our stock rom and using it to replace the one in the Eclipse rom allows me to bypass the SIM card nag in initial setup, but it still will not allow use of the phone dialer. I'll post an update if I discover a fix for this. If anyone else knows of a fix please share. We would be very appreciative!
Fortunately the stock rom on this phone is actually pretty decent, especially compared to those on previous Motorolas like the X2.

The above issue dealing with a SIM card is the biggest problem. By far the easiest workaround I have used in the past to get around MMS problems was to use GoSMS as my default text/mms application. It allows you to set your own mms settings regardless of what is preset in the rom and has never given me problems. 3g data works fine on custom roms so far in my testing.
I am happy to report that Bluetooth input has been fixed in the Ice Cream Sandwich update

Sim card requirement?
Are you trying to use GSM ROMs instead of CDMA?
Seems like there should be an easy work around for Verizon roms. Any one?
Right now there are some issues with BT, camera and other liuttle bugs on every JB ROMs. But seems like they will be fixed soon. You can use CM9, MIUI or the stock based ones instead.
About the other questions. I don't know.

CDMA roms have this problem as well. Since all the cdma roms are based on the Verizon razr they always look for the 4g lte sim card. Alltel is 3g only and does not use sim cards so that's where the issues start. Hopefully someone can figure out a way to force the razr into 3g mode where it doesn't look for a sim card.

Hello guys
I'm going to buy Alltel Razr Maxx, and i guess this is the right thread to ask some questions.
At first, the most important: does it work in 3G/GSM mode with a sim card? I'm from Europe and I'm a GSM network user.
What are the general differences b/w XT912 (Verizon) and XT908 (Alltel)? I can't find detailed specs of xt908 anywhere.
Thanks!

Same question
I got a Razr Maxx that cames with 4.0.4 version already (got it from CLARO, claro rom 672.180.311) and since first moment im experiencing low quality from wifi connections.
i moved for 672.180.340, same quality, them for .350 and used a lot of cm10 biulds (d-wiz, crackerteam, etc...) all of them i got an unstable wifi connection. With CM10 i think was little better then others, but still worse them my DEFY and my OPTIMUS2X. after lot of times getting wifi connection droped i start to analyze it using this software that i use since my first android (HTC Diamond, android version 1.6) https://play.google.com/store/apps/...SwxLDEsImNvbS5mYXJwcm9jLndpZmkuYW5hbHl6ZXIiXQ..
when im 5-7 meters away from my Router all those phones still with -40db (total signal) and my razr maxx is getting moving from -80 ~ -50. it never comes on -40db and the changes have so fast frequency.
Can someone from brazil say something about this to me? did your phones act like this on wifi? im thinking to send it to support.
*maybe i post a video of my test later.
This question is "especially" for BR people, that not means "only for BR"
the only thing is that my phone is Made in Brazil. thats why i direct my wuestion to BR people.
Can Someone tell me something more about this issues??
I'm totally disappointed with the wi-fi on this device. I upgraded recently from a very basic android phone (LG P350) and it had better signal (which is unacceptable) . I've tried some tweaks to improve it but nothing worked. I'm almost convinced of buying a more powerful router for my home office. I'm not willing to install custom roms just yet, so I've only tested it with stock ICS from VIVO.
Let me know if you find something to enhance signal strength and stability.

Ok drunken, thanks for your opinion. Was thinking that was only on my phone.
I will try little more, probable using a dualband router and/or another cryptography like wpa2/wep (im actually on wpa-psk aes)
Will update here all results
Digitado pelos meus dedos.
Just to let you know, yesterday I had to flash a new firmware (new, but official, from TIM) because beats audio screwed up my phone. Wi-fi is better now, not perfect, but I get a nice signal in every room at my house, without random disconnections.
Of course by doing so I threw warranty out of the window. It was the only option is had, though. Sound was dead and video playback as well.
